What does AGLEAM mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Shining with a soft, steady light.
Agleam is formed from the prefix a- and gleam, in the same way as aglow and afire, and is used only after a noun or a verb, never before it. Writers like it for lit windows, wet pavements, polished metal and eyes. It suggests a quiet shine rather than a blaze or a flash, which is what separates it from words like ablaze.
